Celebrate the 8th Anniversary of Game of Thrones: Conquest
For our 8th Anniversary of Game of Thrones: Conquest, we’re celebrating Westeros’ greatest heroes! Celebrate all month long with hero-themed in-game gifts, special events, quality-of-life changes, and the release of a brand new feature.
Read on to learn what’s in store!
Astrolabe Banner Sigil
Every banner tells a story of the heroes that have come before us. Fly your legacy high with the new Astrolabe Banner Sigil, available on October 7th! The sigil can be accessed for free in your in-game Banner Maker.
Astrolabe March Pawn
The Astrolabe has long recorded the great stories of Westeros’ heroes. Now, its legacy is yours to carry on the battlefield. On October 7th, check your in-game mailbox to claim enough pawn shards to unlock the Astrolabe March Pawn for free!
Hall of Heroes
5 years ago in 2020, Heroes were introduced to Game of Thrones: Conquest for the first time to advise you from the Small Council or lead your warriors on the battlefield to victory. Starting from a small roster of 30, we have reached our milestone of 100 heroes this year with Cristin Cole. Along the way, we’ve been making strides to making collecting and upgrading your Heroes easier. We’ve rolled out a range of Quality of Life changes—from small perks like Daily Quest rewards for Hero Summoning, to bigger changes like new ways to spend your spare Hero Relics in the shop and more chances to claim your favorite heroes!
Later in October, we’re adding more value to your existing hero collection with the Hall of Heroes—a new tab in Collections where players can level up Hero Decks for powerful permanent account upgrades.
More information will be revealed in an upcoming blog post, however you can get a first-look into this feature by tuning into our 8th Anniversary live stream on YouTube, happening on October 7th at 4:00 PM EST.
